Customer Review: Not awful, but not good
I found that this work included a number of interesting concepts, however, it fell short of the expectation its title sets: An understanding of the science that can lead practitioners to providing safe aromatherapy. Many essential oils have been subjected to intensive scrutiny by such organizations as RIFM. This book includes few references to this critical body of work. Many of the resources it quotes do not themselves have references; therefore readers don’t know if recommendations are based on research, on a given author’s experience, or urban legend. The book’s recommendations and advice draw from all three categories. The book also includes some emphasis on a non-standard approach to essential oil chemistry, relying on the evaluation of two qualities and drawing conclusions based on the assumptions of this minimal evaluation. The book is informal and accessible. Sometimes the tone changed from chatty to pedantic; not a fatal flaw, but an irritant. The consequences of misunderstanding essential oils can be painful (witness those suffering from burns and allergies from the use of undiluted irritants and sensitizers). Therefore practitioners should have a solid understanding of the underlying science of aromatherapy; then those who like the theories of a few fringe folks can virtuously “go on” to study with their gurus. Sadly, this book is not one that will give folks the broad scope of real science leading to safe use of aromatherapy.

The Art of Aromatherapy: A Guide to Using Essential Oils for Health and Relaxation 
Books on aromatherapy are plentiful, but finding the right one for your needs is not necessarily simple. Consider The Art of Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy an introduction into the world of essential oils. This attractive, easy-to-read reference contains many of the basics you’ll need to start incorporating aromatherapy into your daily routine. After a brief but informative introduction to the medicinal and therapeutic uses of plant essences, this little book gets down to business. Thirty of the most popular essential oils are presented, first with a brief description and place in history, then moving into the practical and medicinal realm. Although most of the names will probably be familiar (basil, clove, cinnamon, lavender) many of their therapeutic uses might offer some surprises. Lavender oil, for example, is not only a calming sleep aid (just leave a drop on your pillow), but it can also be a soothing rub for patients suffering from arthritis. The fact-packed text, complemented by colorful illustrations, offers straightforward, useful information for aromatherapy beginners. –Sara Nickerson

Customer Review: The Art of Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy
An attractive and informative small book that gives basic information about essential oils used in aromatherapy for over 25 different oils such as Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Jasmine and Lavender–to name a few. The pictures are just beautiful and the write-up is done in fancy lettering. It makes a wonderful gift. In each section, there is a description and history, a medicinal section and properties for each oil. My favorite is LAVENDER: Did you know that Lavender Oil is used as the basic ingredient of many fragrances? Lavender has a calming effect and this book recommends a drop of lavender oil on your pillow or in your bath to promote a restful sleep. Properties of lavender include a muscle relaxant, sedative, antidepressant and others….
Customer Review: A comprehensive, quick reference
If you have been wondering what Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy & essentialoils are all about this is a good book to start you off. This booklists the most common & some not so common essential oils &their uses. It also gives a brief history of each particular essential oil & what plant it comes from. Also, how to mix with a carrier oil as essential oils must be diluted. It provides a good all-around quick reference to understanding & using essential oils.
